Yeah I know there's lots of kind of cancer, let's just say they have some for the most common ones or whatever.
This is my signature, there are many others like it, but this one is mine.
If you take 110% of what I say seriously then you're gonna have a bad time.

There are a bunch of cancer cures for a bunch of different types of cancer. Some other types are very difficult to treat.

Different people can have abnormally aggressive or unpredictable cancer though that can be difficult to manage with even methods that are successful for nearly everyone else. There are a lot of variables to this disease.

Wow very different question than I thought you were asking. I thought you were asking whether we think it's really possible to find a total/universal cure for cancer.

I think the idea that pharmaceutical corporations are hiding the cure for money is pretty silly. Just because they do some shady things doesn't mean they would continue to sell ineffective treatments while they had a cure. I think in general these companies sell every new drug they can. If there's going to be an ethical scandal about a cancer cure it's going to be about how much they're trying to charge for it (assuming we don't wake up and get universal healthcare by then)

Of course there is. I don't believe in the myth of incurable disease.

And yes they would hide it. The food industry and pharmaceutical industry do extremely evil things all the time.

I think it could be cured one day, but I don't think they would hide the cure. The exorbitant amount of money that would be made by the company that gets the first patent is enough for me to think it would be released if ever found.

Prevention is the best cure, and while there is no single cancer cure, there are tons of things one can do to take preventative measures.

I don't mean to insult those who have fallen victim to cancer, before anyone jumps my shit. I hate cancer as much as the next person does. Lost my grandmother to pancreatic cancer and my mom survived a type of skin cancer (easiest to catch and beat).

Veganism, exercise, cannabis, and laughing are great ways to fight it.

No source, but if you're happy and you eat ACTUAL healthy foods (not the ones they tell you are always healthy) you're gonna have a stronger immune system.

Not an overnight miracle cancer cure, but it helps your odds over time.

maybe not specifically laughing, but optimism in general has been shown to unambiguously improve health, including lowering cancer risk.

I say Cancer is a much wider variety of diseases that can't be defeated by a singular monolithic treatment.

But - I'm pretty sure there will be cures for each and every type over time.

If big pharma was hiding it, we'd have heard by now. A cure for cancer would literally be a bigger deal than finding the holy grail. There isn't a judge on Earth that would incarcerate someone for leaking the cure for cancer.

The cancer industry makes billions of dollars per year. Any all-in-one cure for preventing rapid uncontrolled tissue growth, would be kept hidden, or else lose all of their funding.

It is long past time that we check into the medical records of all the big shots in said industry, to confirm suspicions that they are hiding things.

Considering a great many people have gotten cancer and been cured I'd say yeah, there are cures for cancer.

But the leaker would be blacklisted, and likely murdered, without it being known who does it, or it being ruled as a "suicide". It is what happened to Seth Rich, who leaked John Podesta's emails to Julien Assange. Murdered in a drive-by shooting in a wealthy area of Washington D.C. that isn't known for its crimes, a few weeks after giving Wikileaks the email documents.

I can't tell whether or not this is an intentionally loaded poll to make fun of people who complain when polls don't have an exact choice that fits their opinion.

This is the very reason why a cure would never be hidden. Literally trillions of dollars would be gained by the company that discovers a cure and patents it.

Cancer is mostly caused through human activity. Particularly industrialization which has increased cancer rates dramatically. Moving to renewable energy sources would dramatically decrease cancer rates.

This is like saying "Do you think people can recover from illness?". Being so unspecific prevents the question from meaning anything.

I do think all forms of cancer will eventually have treatments that will have a meaningful chance of either effecting full recovery or extending life expectancy by 10+ years.

While that's not inaccurate (stress depresses the immune system), it doesn't have much to do with cancer. Most cancers aren't something the immune system can prevent.

Some types can be treated, but I don't think there's some magical "cancer antidote" out there. While there are many factors that may contribute to increased cancer risk, the causes are still somewhat unknown

that sure sounds completely wrong. your immune system is normally *exactly* what prevents things like cancer. if you want to be all tautological and say "by cancer I mean those kinds of cancer that your immune system fails to catch" then fine whatever, but having a healthy immune system is still a better place to be versus cancer. in fact, getting your immune system to recognize the cancer is always one potential avenue for curing it. saying "your immune system doesn't have much to do with cancer" is just asinine.
